9/11Lance Austin Olsen - THIEF
Audio With External Links Item Preview
On June 16, 2010 Canadian artist Lance Austin Olsen's home was broken into. His computer, backup hard drives, cameras and miscellaneous other equipment were taken - and with them, over a decade's worth of irreplaceable digital sound and visual artworks. In his typical fashion, Olsen proclaimed that it was an opportunity to start again with a blank page.
THIEF makes reference to some of Olsen's earlier field recording-based works, while deceivingly stripped down compared to his epic ROAD TO ESPERANCE or WAR OF THE WELLES albums. It seems fitting to make Olsen's 25 minute composition THIEF available as a complimentary digital download, spreading it like a seed over great distances, so it is less likely to suffer the same fate as so many of his early works.
